"After a ridiculously good first period from Sergei Bobrovsky (14 saves) kept the outplayed Panthers even, the Blue Jackets finally broke through 13:01 into the second when Adam Fantilli took a lead pass from Mason Marchment and wired a wrister home from the right circle."
"The Cats opened the third on a power play and tied the tilt at the 1:28 mark. After taking a pass from Mackie Samoskevich, Reinhart took the puck to the net and fired a high shot that glanced off both Elvis Merlikins and the cross bar. The rebound struck Sam Bennett in the torso and fell to the ice and number 9 was able to swat into the net."
"Following four saves from Merzlikins, Tkachuk exhanged passes with rookie Mike Benning and then softly one-timed the puck through the slot to Sam Reinhart, who was able to gather and roof his shot from a difficult angle to end it."
